Is there anyplace I can go to get Censoredistance translating an image of my great great grandmothers birth registration to English? The record I am interested in is for Magdalena Jensen in San Juan. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QV1Y-J5GX , My Spanish is poor and the handwriting is not that great on the online jpg files, lower right side of page 1018 and left side of 1019. Thank you - Steve

I am at a brick wall in my search for Miguel Acevedo and Epifania Ramos of Aguadilla. They are the parents of Felipa Acevedo y Ramos. b. 1850, d. sometime after the 1920 census. Felipa lived in the barrio Caimital Bajo. She was married to Carmelo Sanabria y Blas who pCensoreded away young, at 50. She then remarried or at least co-habitated with Andres Arce y Vega. Felipa had 4 children who lived (Gregorio, Juan, Barbarino, and Ysidora (aka Aurora)) and one that pCensoreded away very young (Rosa).

According to birth certificates of Felipa's children Miguel and Epifania were "naturales de Aguadilla" but I cannot locate any information on them other than listed as the parents and grandparents of the above.

Please contact me with any information that can help break through this wall.

I would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction regarding researching the Lafont family. I am stuck at finding any information on Avelino Lafont. His wife is Agueda Pacheco. The address according to the 1910 census was 672 calle Celis Aguilera, Farjardo. Avelino's occupation is listed as Mayordomo Ingenio Azucar. The census lists Avelino as 65 years old.

I would like to get an idea of what tools are available for this research. Thank you, Nani Lafont

Hello Boricuas, I am looking for any relations to the family Borrero,Madieros and the Morales families. They were from Penuelas, Ponce Deleon, Ponce areas. They migrated to Hawaii in the 1900's and from there moved to San Francisco. My Great Grandfathers name was Ramon Borrero, married to Portolatina Morales and had several children, Rufina, Rufino, Nicanor, Posidonia and Pedro. My Great grandfathers name was Diego Borrero and he was married to an undocumented Indian woman. We have no knowledge of her name. We are hoping she was a Taino Indian. If you have any leads please contact me at kauaimama1@sbcglobal.net. Love to hear from you. Oh my name is Stephanie Sanchez and I am originally from San Francisco California. My grandparents moved to the mainland in 1926 if that helps.
